Application of rapid solidification of the melt, mechanical alloying and reactive sintering of metallic powders are presented. Based on the conducted experiments, mechanical alloying seems to be the most promising technology, since it enables to yield nearly pure quasicrystalline powder in Al-Fe-Cu alloy system.
